A Medium to Long-Term Study Comparing Stress Urinary Incontinence Procedures.
Article in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesConcerns remain regarding the safety of the retropubic tape (TVT) procedure. We assess the efficacy, satisfaction and long-term outcomes of the TVT procedure and compare it to the autologous fascial sling (AFS), colposuspension, and urethral bulking procedures.
methodsA review of prospective data of all patients post stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery in our tertiary center between January 2012 and December 2020 was performed. Patients were invited to complete three validated questionnaires: International Consultation of Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS), ICIQ Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS) and ICIQ satisfaction (ICIQ-S). Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate complications. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to evaluate satisfaction. KEY
findingsEight hundred fifty-three SUI procedures were performed in the study period. The responses from 395 questionnaires were analyzed. Median follow up: 5.9 years (range 1-10.1). The TVT and AFS procedures were the most efficacious procedures: 64% TVT, 62% AFS, 40% Colposuspension, 26% urethral bulking, p < 0.001. The AFS group had the lowest reported rate of complications: 22.6% AFS, 65.7% TVT, 67.1% colposuspension, 71.74% Urethral bulking (p < 0.001). Pain was the most reported complication and the AFS group had the lowest reporting of severe pain: 68% AFS, 74% TVT, 80% Colposuspension, 78% urethral bulking (p = 0.350). LIMITATIONS: Mesh exposure was not evaluated due to the lack of validated questionnaires.
conclusionThe AFS and TVT procedures are reported as the most successful procedures for the surgical management of SUI. Due to the associated risk of mesh complications, we recommend AFS as the procedure of choice for the surgical management of SUI.
